Ella's New Friend

Every once in a while Anthony's dad, Andy, gets to come to Houston for business and stay with us. We LOVE having him in town! Tex of course follows him around EVERYWHERE, but he had never met Ella. Well, it was love at first sight for her... I walked through the den last night and this is what I found! Too cute!

GANG-GREEN!

I was actually really looking forward to Halloween this year because Anthony and I had a costume we were really excited about! We dressed up as GANGRENE. Actually, Anthony was a gangster, and I was all green, so we were GANG-GREEN! Disclaimer- we stole this idea from our friend Jill from a LONG time ago! I LOVED this idea and we had so much fun! Anthony is a natural gangster at heart (heehee) and did a great Eminem/Tupac impression. I had a great time in all green and even spray painted my hair! It took four washes at 1:30 am to wash it out, but it finally came out!

We went to Blanco's to see one of my sweet friends Lindsie's husband's band play. They were awesome and it was super fun! We went with Jake and Stacy and then met up with Michelle and Clay when we got there! Here are some funny pics from the night!

Gang-green at home!

The Waldrops- cop and prisoner

 

The Grahams- Charlie Brown and Sally

 

Lindsie, me, Michelle

 

Our favorite costume- A Morman!

 

True Thugs

 

We loved Halloween this year- but I can't believe it's already NOVEMBER! Crazy!!

Ella LOVES Brett Favre

So I realize that MOST of the country hates Brett Favre, but there are a few out there that still love him- including our kitty...

She LOVES to watch TV- but last night Mr. Favre caught her attention more than usual! I took this picture and I think it's hysterical!

Happy Halloween!!!

Arrrrr Little Pirate!

Sneak Peek of Tex in his Halloween costume!!!! 

You might think he is not very happy, but he LOVED it (no, he really HATED it until the treats came out!).... Anyway, this is our little pirate- he even has a parrot on his hat!

I love this boy!  :)

It Worked!

Apparently, NOT rooting for A&M this weekend REALLY helped- we got a HUGE win against those pesky Red Raiders from Lubbock! This is the first time in what feels like an ETERNITY that we beat Tech, and in Lubbock of all places! And we didn't just beat them- we crushed them! So, I will continue to NOT cheer for the Ags in hopes that it helps greatly (OR it might just be due to the fact that we are a bunch of punky freshman that can't decide when to play or when to get our butts kicked... here's hoping for success NEXT season!)....

Anyway, there is actually more that went on over our weekend than just the win, but that W deserved top billing!

Friday night Anthony had a poker tournament for a client- tough work, right? While he was doing that, I went to our Bible Class get together at the Robertsons! We stuffed goodie bags for the kids at Texas Children's which was super fun- nothing like volunteering and getting together with friends! Saturday we continued our "volunteerism" at our chuch carnival. They actually bus kids from our sister church, Impact Church of Christ, over and the Memorial CofC people help out. Anthony and I led a group around which was super fun! Our kids were older, but so respectful and sweet! We had a great time getting to know them. I was EXHAUSTED afterwards though! Here are some pics from the day... We didn't find out it was a "costume" party until the night before... I went as a nurse (thanks for the old scrubs, Andrea and Brenda!), and Anthony went as an Aggie Fan... hahaha

Such a fun weekend giving back! I have a special place in my heart for volunteering- and even to do a TINY bit this weekend made me so happy! I am excited to have more time to do more and more! It was a great starting place...  :)

I Need a New Team!

So, apparently I am bad luck...

ALL of the teams I cheer for really STINK!!!



A&M got blown out of the stadium this weekend by the WORST team in the Big 12!

The Astros- when is the last time they made the post-season??

The Rockets- what happened to TWOSTON?

I had SUCH high hopes for them this year- they are OK, but not great by any means...

So, I decided, let's start cheering for the teams I'm NOT a big fan of. Maybe they will be bad and my teams will start to be good... No? Ehhh, it's worth a shot- Go Yankees, Go Lakers, Go Cowboys, and Hook 'em!

Just kidding- Love you Michelle and Tony!  :)

Little Surprises

One of my VERY favorite things about being a pet owner is having my little buddies follow me ALL OVER the house. I am never alone! I move to the computer room- they follow. I move to the kitchen- guess who's right behind me? I absolutely LOVE this and think it's just precious that they are my little followers. I mean, what do they do all day when I'm gone?

Going along with this title, here are two pictures of the places I found them. In this one, I got out of the shower and found my little surprise! Oh my gosh, it was just the cutest thing ever! I stinkin' love these guys!!!

Here is my next little surprise. I started up the computer to do some stuff yesterday. As it was booting up, I went into the kitchen to get some water. I came back in to login, and this is what I found!

I know I'm kind of a loser about my pets- but I seriously LOVE them! Anyone who knows me understands that I love animals (excluding emus- that's a whole other topic) and kids more than most things in the world. If I could live in a world of animals I think I would be perfectly happy! Remember in Ace Ventura when he comes into the house and sings and all the animals start coming to him?? That is seriously one of my biggest fantasies! hahaha

Ok, enough... It's Friday and I'm tired... Have a wonderful weekend!  :)
